i think this would be a good move for both companies. If rockstar was to make a wii version with 6mil consoles sold then they will surely get great sales. And for the wii it will quite some of the critics who insist on calling the console childish and a gimmick. And this in turn will make developers more inclined to make M rated games for the console.

I love it if they did that...  As long as it's a new game made for the Wii, and not just a port of one of the PS2 games (I wouldn't mind GTA4 being ported, but I'd prefer an exclusive with the Wiimote in mind while making it).

Honestly, bud, not to be a prick but I'm glad. It's the parent's responsibility to keep mature games out of the hands of immature gamers. The fact that there's too many parents that don't care or pay attention to what their kids are playing is the reason there's such a backlash on mature games. If kids were't playing games like that there's would be far less ammunition for the people that speak out against violent video games. Tell your parents I said "thanks" and to educate other parents in your neighborhood to do the same.

 Again, I'm not trying to flame you or anything... might not seem like it now but you'll be old enough for those kinds of games before you know it.

I personally think grand theft auto is overrated (and i have the games)

They are great games, but definately not as good and "perfect" some people say...

I liked gta 3 the best personally, I thought the story was way better (and more believable) than the newer ones...

I voted for the "I don't care for this series" section in the middle because I personally do not have an interest in the games, but I think it would be great to see GTA on Wii.  It would attract more players and create a more diverse offering of games.  I also think it would help break the proverbial"Mature rated titles on Wii?" ice (along with Manhunt 2) and more publishers would put mature titles on Wii.

I could personally care less if GTA ever made it to Wii though.

just bcus were not mature(18 years old) doesnt mean we cant handle the content. i've played plenty of violent games i'm not trying to immitate it in real life and tbh honest nudity/ sexual content in games dont affect me at all. trust me if someone wants to watch that kind of stuff they dont need videogames, its easy enough.

My thoughts aren't up there so I wont vote.  I don't really like GTA, but for the sake of the Wii sales, sure, lets have a GTA.

Yeah, but parents have to allow it or not. It's not like they are machines programmed to spoil our fun, they're clever enough to know what we can handle or not and I'm sure (well, at least I hope) this kid parents aren't just acting as Jack Thompson is ordering.

I voted for 'couldnt care less.' I'm not a fan of the series nor the subject matter of the games, but i do agree that it would attract some gamers that think the Wii is a kiddie console because it lacks the numbe of 'M' rated titles the other systems have

With realistic stabbing motions? No thanks. I don't care if people think the Wii is a kiddy console. You and I know the deal, and apparently a growing number people worldwide do, too. I honestly don't think they have to take on something like that to boost their sales. Mature gamers are already being catered to with Godfather and Manhunt 2. GTA'll just sully the Wii's current reputation as a family/everybody console. Perhaps I'm being bias; I never liked the concept of GTA. Great soundtrack, though. 

If Wii offers a more realistic way to play, I'd rather no-one play GTA realistically.

i couldnt careless for the series, i could never get into it but i wont speak for everyone. the wii is a casual system like the PS2 so alot of people will buy it. the wii being a casual console doesnt mean that you are also a casual, as there were alot of hardcore games on the PS2.

But if you like The Godfather or consider it a good game you have no room to criticise GTA.

I don't really care if I can play it on the Wii or not, but if a GTA will make the Wii sell a lot more, I welcome it. I've got a good PC and I could've played all the GTAs on it, but didn't.

I think eventually the Wii will see a GTA. However, it will be a spinoff of some kind that will also be released on the PS2/PSP.

If they did, it would not be the same game that 360 and PS3 are getting, they would have to downgrade it to much.  The only GTA the Wii would ever get is some weak bastardization of the current games like the "Stories" series, or even worse.

It depends. If they made the controls awesome (aiming with the remote and then turning the remote sideways to drive cars like ExciteTruck and NFS), then I would buy it the day it came out. DEFINITELY.

I'd love a GTA on the wii. Not GTA IV because the wii would never handle it but I'd want a GTA exclusive to wii. I'll be getting GTA IV on PS3 and obviously a GTA on wii would be inferior but it would be a GTA nonetheless so I would definitely get it. GTA San Andreas is my fav game of all time btw.

fact: Nintendo has suffered in recent years largely by a lack of third-party developer support.

not since the days of the SNES has the big N been in such a great position to cultivate new and nurture existing outside developers. a diverse IP catalogue can only help in that the whole idea of "true mass market appeal" and is realized only by providing solutions and IP offerings that appease the tastes of anyone and everyone.

in my personal opinion, i think the GTA series should be made available to Wii users and i feel as though i am not alone in this way of thinking. take-two and rockstar stand to make a lot of money with a Wii iteration of GTA given how large the installed Wii user-base already is, and they know this. honestly, i think it's just a matter of time before we see something - provided, of course, that manhunt 2 (a seeming multi-layered litmus-test, of sorts) proves successful with regards to sales.

Reggie tried to pull gta for the wii, and rockstar said they would like to work more on the wii, and Take Two said that priority was the wii, so i think it's possible.

AS has been said a million times already I am sure but... If this series moved to the Wii it would be goodin many ways.

It would showdevelopers that M games can be on the Wii and work out just fine because I am sure this game would sell very rapidly.
It would show developers that there main franchises can work and be successful on the Wii (I see this happening with Soul Calibur Legends leading the way. Although a non-spin-off would be much better).
Other developer might start bringing in more "hardcore" games that help keep the Wii's "harcore gamers".
The franchise is fairly fun to play...it may not be the best game out there (not even close by my standards) but sometimes I find it fun to just sit back and blow stuff up (I still perfer Mercenaries for this though).

Of course most all of that depends on how successful it would be. If it wasnt successful it could do the opposite.

Overall I wouldn't really be the first in line to get it but I would wait a couple months and then get a used version and just play through that.

I definitely wouldn't mind seeing GTA on the Wii. If Rockstar can make it work, I'd be more than happy to pass up on the more graphical 360/PS3 versions to play it on Wii.

As for Nintendo, this would be a good move on their part. If they are serious in attracting the more hardcore gamers, this would be a good start.
